Are you a good person or a bad person?

I break people's character down into at least 3 categories:

Bad people often do what's wrong just for their own gratification. I have no use for bad people in any capacity.

Good people usually do what's right; but, often, only because they have to. I will work for good people and let good people work for me. Good people make the world go 'round.

Honorable people usually do what's right (no one's perfect) just for the sake of doing what's right, not because they have to. I will follow the leadership of honorable people and work for them as a subordinate leader. If good people make the world go 'round, honorable people set the pace.

This thread's original question doesn't offer me an option that I'm willing to be content with.

Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth:p

I believe all people are good in nature.

I don't.

I know they are not. Your event set is too small.

I feel that your event set is too small, though, unlike you, I do not presume so much to act like I know. You know nothing of what I have been through or have learned.
Hubris is an unattractive trait.

Spend an hour talking to a multiple offense child rapist and then get back to me.

Like I said you know nothing about me.
My wife was raped by her father from two to fifteen. He did the same to her sister... I stand by my statement.
My wife has the same conviction.

He is not the worst person I have met or spent time with. Speak of what you know.

BTW, I don't believe in evil.

That's that old 'nature' or 'nurture' question isn't it?

If rk would have said. 'I believe all people are good' ( period ) then maybe I would care to ask what the heck 'event set' means but since people obviously missed the word ' nature' and the phrase 'in nature' modifys the word 'good' I could presume to think he meant people at their core and before any acquired behavior. I think so. I could be wrong. I am not very smart.


Even people that slag off other people he thinks are good at their core.

I don't.

That would be babies and toddlers which is the most selfish, self-centered, group I can think of.

I should have used the 'yeah right' emoticon. I thought calling myself a whitey would have given it away. * sigh * I guess I don't have any street talk. It would have made it more sarcastic. Don't mind me. I'm probably like Napoleon Dynamite ( although I've never actually seen Napoleon Dynamite . I can imagine it )

@ Bruce, ha! That is exactly the age I was thinking.

Technically, her event set cannot possibly be too small. Since you are claiming that all people are good in nature, you should ideally have all people in your set, though most would let you get away with a representative sample; whereas wolf need only have one single person in her set who is not good in nature to prove your set incomplete.

Those pics came from a holocaust site I came across while googling (don't recall the name). The top one is of a group of women -- some with infants -- who have been stripped and are being led to their execution site. The bottom pic is of a group of men waiting to be gassed. There are some emotions that an actor just can't portray -- look at their eyes.
